What's next on your list?
I do like that shoe. I'm not sure what is next for me. I was thinking about something in Russian Reindeer; maybe a boot like the Derby or the High-Cut Veldt.

So, what are you leaning towards; colour; leather, style?

In all my years of military service, these are the best I've ever owned. I have had them in old black leather and the new style.
Here are some more looks at the different Danner...

I was off Friday and when I walked into the office this morning, I found a package from Cleverley waiting. They are incredibly light as people have mentioned before. Sorry for the crappy BlackBerry photos. Maybe I should spend the money on a camera instead of shoes.

Before buying my wife her Chanel bag I signed up for the Purse Forum. You think SF members can be hardcore. Those Chanelista's are crazy. However, they provided me with guidance so that I wouldn't make a mistake. Unfortunately, I now know far too much about Chanel bags and that information has supplanted more important info in my brain like passwords and when to pay the power bill.

Good point Thomas. Sometimes though you need someone else to point things out that you may have missed...

Chinese or suspect "Swiss" movements; inflated list price, super "sale" prices. Run don't walk away from these watches. Listen to the others. Stowa is one of your best bets for a mechanical German watch and balances quality and price. Sinn makes great watches. Check out Schaumburg watches too. The list goes on but should not include Perigaum.
